Justice for Three: The Abduction, Torture
and Murders of Willie, Josephat and JosephOn June 23, 2016,
Willie Kimani, a Kenyan human rights defender and father of two, went to a
court outside Nairobi, accompanying Josephat Mwenda, also Kenyan, who was
bravely fighting to defend himself against blatantly false charges by an
abusive police force. The bodies of Willie, Josephat and their driver Joseph
Muiruri—an innocent bystander—were
found in the Ol‐Donyo Sabuk River eight days later.As word spread of what had happened, thousands of Kenyans—and human
rights supporters around the world—mobilized online through this petition and
took action on the ground, marching in solidarity to demand justice for the
three and an end to police violence.

Justice for All: End Police Abuse of Power
in KenyaIn Kenya, it is far too
easy for a corrupt or incompetent police officer to frame and imprison an
innocent person, who must then wait in jail, often for years on end, for a
chance to prove his or her innocence. According to a Kenyan government
report, the number of crimes reported to the police in 2015 involving
the police increased by 34 percent.

This corrupt system has packed Kenya's prisons full of innocent men and women
with no way out and no lawyer to fight for their release—and the police
who abuse their power are not held accountable.

Willie Kimani was working to protect the innocent from such abuse, and he was
murdered while courageously pursuing that mission.We are asking the Kenya government to:

Ensure the ongoing meaningful prosecution of everyone
involved with the murders of Willie Kimani, Josephat Mwenda and Joseph
Muiruri; and

Immediately remove Samuel M. Arachi from his post as Deputy
Inspector General of the Administration Police, on behalf of every innocent
person in Kenya abused by his police force.

Sign now to ensure this
tragedy is a turning point. Sign now to support a safer Kenya for all.___
